Another winner!

Cashed out the April 3 trade just now for a profit ...

This one wasn't quite as profitable as some others, but i also didn't hold it as long: only 18 days.

I'm moving toward a 25-day trade time: sell at 46 DTE, buy back around 21 DTE. This avoids some of the risk of the days toward expiration but captures a lot of the collapse in option value starting around day 45.

Chart is now like this:

Trade Date	Symbol	Result	Profit/Loss	Comment
02/06/2017	SPY	Lost	-18%
02/13/2017	SPY	Lost	-16%
02/21/2017	SPY	Won	+15.4%
02/27/2017	SPY	Won	+17%
03/06/2017	SPY	Won	+15.3%
03/13/2017	SPY	Won	+12.9%
03/20/2017	TLT	Lost	-1.4%	Dumb!
03/27/2017	SPY	Won	+9.6%
04/03/2017	SPY	Won	+6.6%	18 days long
04/10/2017	SPY	Open
04/17/2017	SPY	Open

That's up to 67% winners, including the dumb loss a couple of weeks ago. This rate should become 80%+ in the next few weeks ...
